The DeafBlind Support Committee is a multifaceted team that brings awareness, strengthens communication access, and supports the unique needs of DeafBlind students at RIT/NTID. We welcome students, faculty, staff, and community members who are interested in learning more and helping create a more accessible and inclusive campus. DeafBlind students can request accommodations through the DSO Student Portal. Students should log in and request their approved academic accommodations for each class every semester. Accommodations include large print or alternate-format materials, extended testing time, frequent breaks, and more. Instructions and training materials on using the portal are available.

DBSC Co-Chairs: Rebecca Jackson and Rhonda Voight-Campbell

Committee Members: Emely Pacheco (student representative), Jess Garcia, Kelly Kamish, Stacey Davis, and William Windhorn
